Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) Reviews

We are a solution provider and Nutanix is one of the platforms that we implement for our clients.

This operating system includes support for a complete ecosystem.

The ability to integrate with other products is fine.

This is a flexible solution.

The interface is okay.

With some projects that we are deploying, there are errors that arise when adding nodes.

I have been using Nutanix Acropolis AOS for perhaps four years.

The stability is good. This is the number-one product in that regard.

Scalability-wise, it is okay.

It is straightforward to deploy. The documentation available online makes it very clear.

We do see ROI but also experience problems with some deployments.

The local Nutanix representative in our region is not very good, so we are stopping our work with Nutanix products for the moment. We have worked on nice projects together in the past but for now, we are stopping our work with them.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

The most valuable features are easy cloud administration and management. Acropolis also has a very good response time with our database applications.

An area for improvement would be the cyber security features. 

I've been using this solution for seven years.

Acropolis' stability is good.

The scalability is good.

Technical support responds to issues in a short time.

The initial setup is easy, and deployment takes around a week.

We renew our license on a yearly basis and have no costs in addition to the standard fee.

Nutanix is the best solution for infrastructure on cloud, hybrid, or on-premise. I would rate this solution as ten out of ten.

Nutanix Acropolis AOS is easy to use and there are no hardware limitations.

You need to send commands through the command-line interface(CLI). This could be improved. The commands are done better in VMware.

Nutanix has a complex infrastructure, we have customers that consider VMware instead. Additionally, the performance could be better.

In an upcoming release, it would be a benefit to have live updates.

I have been using Nutanix Acropolis AOS for approximately three years.

The stability of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is good. It has high availability.

The solution can scale well.

The technical support was great they were very helpful.

I would rate the technical support a five out of five.

The installation is simple.

I would rate the initial setup a four out of five.

Nutanix Acropolis AOS price includes no additional costs for features.

I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS an eight out of ten.

Nutanix Acropolis AOS is easy to use, it is a great platform.

In the future, I would like to see multi-tenancy in Nutanix Acropolis AOS.

I have used Nutanix Acropolis AOS for approximately six years.

The scalability is very easy. You plug in another node and that's it.

The support provided for Nutanix Acropolis AOS is very good. They know the products well, if you have any error on a cluster or any problem with workloads on Nutanix, the engineer's support is great.

The initial setup was very simple. You only need to deploy the clusters and Nutanix configures all the clusters. In one day we were in production. When comparing the process to the VMware solution, it is less complex.

The solution could be a little less expensive.

If you want to run Nutanix on Windows, you have to pay for a license and if you want to have an Oracle Database, you have to pay a license for Oracle.

With the simplicity of the deployment and the one-click operations over the cluster, Nutanix Acropolis AOS is a good solution. You have to have cloud experience.

I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS a ten out of ten.

We are the service partners. Generally, we are taking care of the Nutanix systems for the customer.

One customer, for example, uses it widely in a hospital environment. 

The support is quite good.

We have found the solution to be stable. It offers good performance. 

The scalability is great.

The product offers a general easy configuration of disaster recovery. That's the major thing. Disaster recovery and business continuity are very good.

Frankly speaking, there are some issues. For example in the newer version could be better. If there could be good documentation in some instances. While their overall Nutanix Bible is good, they are lacking good descriptions for particular scenarios that might be helpful to many users. 

In the next release, I would like to have a multi-tenant environment. That way, you could set up a special VM for a special group of people and the other group will not be able to see certain things. It would make the solution better. 

I've used the solution for about three years at this point. We've used it for a while. 

The hypervisor is very stable. Overall, the performance is good. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and it doesn't have bugs or glitches.

The product is absolutely scalable. A company can expand it if it needs to. It's not a problem.

We have three people currently using the solution.

The technical support on offer is the best part of the product. They are excellent. We are extremely satisfied with their level of service. 

I've found the product to be absolutely easy to install.

However, for this particular system, it's hard. It takes longer to do the hardware. Physically it may take about three hours.

You do not need a lot of people for the deployment or maintenance. It's a one-man show. The person also does not need to be overly technical or specialized in Nutanix to be able to handle the implementation or maintenance. 

ROI is hard to calculate, as we are in Eastern Europe, where the pricing may be different or higher than in other places, however, we do expect an ROI with this product within three years or so.

I'm a technical person. I don't directly deal with licensing costs or arrangements, and therefore cannot speak to pricing. 

We did look at other solutions before ultimately deciding on Nutanix. We choose Nutanix due to the fact that it's easier to operate and maintain.

We are a partner of Nutanix.

I'd recommend the solution to others as its stability is so reliable. Companies should strive towards finding a good management system. It's far worse without this.

I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

One of the main features of the solution is that it works on many hypervisors. It is a big advantage. Additionally, the solution is compatible with VMware and Hyper-V, and the management interface, which is called Prism, is very intuitive and user-friendly.

The solution upgrades very easily with the one-click upgrade feature. There are no hassles, it can upgrade the firmware and all the software. The management is very easy.

One disadvantage of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it doesn't support external storage. Connecting external SAN storage to Nutanix, it's not supported.

I have been using Nutanix Acropolis AOS for approximately three years.

Nutanix Acropolis AOS is stable.

The scalability has been good, it is easy to scale.

The technical support has been good.

The solution is easy to install.

The price of the solution could improve. Nutanix has recently changed its pricing model from perpetual to subscription. They have identified there are challenges with the pricing model.

The technical support we have as part of the package we purchased.

If that a customer wants hypervisors flexibility, simplicity, scalability, and a price advantage over VMware, Nutanix is a good choice that they should consider.

I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS an eight out of ten.

My primary use case for this solution

We have had good feedback from our customers about this solution.

Areas for improvement would be the memory setting and the CPU setting reserve features, which are not available on Acropolis. I also feel that the DR solution, the reporting, and the component that is combined with the Nutanix OSP need to be improved.

I have been working with this product for a year and a half.

I find this solution to be stable.

The scalability of this solution is fine.

The technical support is good.

I previously used VMware, but we switched to Acropolis as it is more cost-effective.

The initial setup was simple.

Acropolis is a good choice for those who want to go with a complete infrastructure. I would give this solution a score of eight out of ten.
